Queensland’s Nanango Shire is one of the latest Councils to install one of Skateramps Australia’s new range of potable and fixed skate ramps. Nanango is a fast growing Shire located on the dividing range at the head of Brisbane Valley.
After requests from its younger residents, Council has installed a fully transportable ramp on the railway reserve in Blackbutt, one of the main townships in Nanango. The ramp is in the centre of town to maximise access to the facility, while at the same time providing a safe, designated area for skaters.
Council funded the installation of two skate ramps four years ago, with the other previously being built in the township of Nanango.
Nanango Shire’s Community Services Officer, Kerry Mercer, said the new ramp is much appreciated by local youth.
“It has already been extremely popular with Blackbutt’s young people,” he said. “While the ramp is fully transportable, we have decided to leave it where it is, with Council contributing to the cost of a fence around the ramp to increase safety for users.”
Skateramps Australia offers a full design and construct service to suit each Council’s requirements.
With over ten years of experience, Skateramps Australia has a well earned reputation for providing quality facilities that meet the needs of communities large and small across the nation.
